Taking the Middle Path to Happiness. This documentary produced by Tom Vendetti examines the efforts of Bhutan’s government to create “Gross National Happiness” (and not Gross National Product) for its people by promoting these four pillars - Environmental Preservation, Cultural Development, Economic Development through hydroelectric power, and Good Governance. Can this small, isolated country in the Himalayas truly protect its environment, religion and culture as they open their doors to the West and remain a Shangrila? The answer is rooted in the Bhutanese world view anchored in Buddhism, with the simple message that happiness can only be found by taking the middle path – a path that balances the needs of man with the powerful spirits of nature. The film won two Emmy Awards in 2009-2010 in the United States. 由湯姆范德蒂（Tom Vendetti ）制作的一部纪录片；考察布丹政府推广四大支柱—环境保护、文化发展、水力发电达致经济发展与善治，来创造“国民幸福总值”（Gross National Happiness） ，而不是“国民生产总值”（Gross National Product）。当这个处在喜马拉雅山脉中的小国向西方开启大门时，這片人间净土能否保持无瑕，而仍然是人间香格里拉？布丹的佛教徒会从容地告诉你：幸福乃在实践中庸之道，既是物质与心灵的平衡。这影片连续在2009-2010两年获得美国艾美奖殊荣。
